Innovative brain protection: the mips revolution
Where conventional safety stops, MIPS technology (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) goes further. At the heart of the Wings Mips Matte Black helmet lies this unique biomechanical breakthrough, inspired by the natural function of the brain inside the skull.
- Enhanced safety against oblique impacts: The MIPS system incorporates a low-friction layer beneath the outer shell, allowing the helmet to slide upon impact and dissipate rotational forces. This mechanism significantly reduces the risk of brain injury by mimicking the cerebrospinal fluid that naturally protects our brains.
- Years of research: The result of nearly 20 years of scientific study, MIPS has established itself as one of the highest standards in equestrian safety, greatly enhancing protection compared to traditional helmets.
- Stringent certifications: The helmet is CE labeled and certified CE VG1 01.040 2014-12, ensuring compliance with testing and requirements of the European Regulation 2016/425/EU.
High-performance comfort & optimal breathability
The Equithème Wings Mips Matte Black is not only designed to protect, but also ensures exceptional comfort for riders in all disciplines. Its innovative design attends to every detail:
- Advanced ventilation: A clever ventilation system stretches all around the front of the helmet shell, complemented by strategic zones at the back and center. Air circulates freely, keeping your head cool even under exertion or in hot weather.
- High-density EPS shell: This lightweight and absorbent foam offers superior shock protection while remaining impressively light on the head.
- Semi-circular surface: The originality of this helmet comes from the myriad of small embedded ridges which, beyond their modern look, enhance shock absorption and energy dispersion in case of an impact.
- Premium interior padding: Removable and washable, the inner textile absorbs excess moisture, minimizing perspiration to provide long-lasting freshness, session after session.
Intuitive fit: support and personalization
Because a safe helmet is above all a helmet that fits snugly, every detail of the Wings Mips Matte Black has been designed to perfectly match the rider's head. Its microfiber harness system, soft to the touch, adjusts at 4 points for optimal support across the entire head.
- Rear adjustment dial: Adjustable with one hand, it allows for millimeter-precise fitting, adapting to all head shapes from sizes 53 to 60.
- Comfort chin protector: A soft protective piece prevents pressure points and reduced chafing, even after long hours at the stables.
- Quick-release clip: The secure buckle offers intuitive and reliable use every time you put on the helmet.
Lightweight & freedom of movement
More than just a safety accessory, the Wings Mips helmet feels weightless so you can focus on your riding sensations:
- Featherweight: Depending on size, the helmet weighs between 430 and 530 grams, making it one of the lightest models in its class, without compromising shock absorption.
- Ergonomic cuts: The wide openings of the flexible chin strap, together with the helmet's curved shape, ensure total freedom of movement for the neck and shoulders.
- Wide and flexible visor: It effectively protects your face from sun and weather, while remaining flexible for extra safety in the event of a fall.
Durability in every season
The external ABS shell has been specifically selected for its impact resistance, even under extreme cold or heat. It offers long-lasting protection against repeated knocks, scratches, and weather, so it can go anywhere with you, all year round.
For all riders, from leisure to competition
Thanks to its versatile adjustments, extended size range (53 to 60), and a sober yet sporty design, the Wings Mips suits all types of riders. Use it for regular riding at your club, in CSO, dressage, or eventing competitions, or for outdoor rides where risk is always present.
Easy care & longevity
Helmet cleaning is simple: the removable padding can be hand or machine washed at low temperature, while a quick sponge is all it takes for the outer shell. It is recommended to check the fit and condition of the fastening elements before each use to ensure optimal safety over time.
